Welcome Back!

QUEST Families,

Summer is far from over, but it is about that time where we begin to communicate about all the exciting things ahead! The team at QUEST is eager and almost ready for 22-23, and we can't wait to begin the journey ahead.  Welcome back, with a special welcome to our new QUEST families and K families! 

Ice Cream Social 

We hope to see a lot of you at the Ice Cream Social on August 31st. This will run from 5-6:30; many teachers also attend, but more than anything its a chance to connect with our school community before we begin school. If you are a Kindergarten family, please know there will be a bus there giving rides! This, coupled with visiting the classroom, tends to help alleviate a lot of the fears for our newest learners. 

School Supplies Reminder

All students in the Hilton Central School District will have their supplies purchased for them this year. Some teachers may ask for a set of headphones(we did not purchase these), and your child needs to come with their own backpack and lunch pal (if your child brings lunch); the rest is covered. If you see Mrs. Merrill--Principal's Secretary--please extend a gigantic thank you. She went above and beyond to ensure we were all set with supplies. 

Child Pick-Up

If you plan to pick up your child daily, or intermittently but on specific days each week, you can use the link below. Please use the email questattendance@hilton.k12.ny.us with questions or specifics that are not captured by the form.
